Do i need a visa when visiting Taba Egypt?

Answer 1

yes of course

Answer 2

When you fly into Sharm el Sheikh or Taba in Sinai you have tho option of a free Sinai only stamp which entitles you to 15 days stay in Sinai, or a full Egyptian visa which costs $15/£10 and entitles you to 28 days stay in Egypt.

With a Sinai only stamp you can only travel along the gulf of Aqaba coast between Taba and Sharm in the south, it is also possible to visit St Catherine's monastery and the coloured canyon. You cannot visit the Ras Mohammed national park, Cairo or Luxor without purchasing the full Egyptian visa. It is possible to head over the Israeli and Jordanian borders without a visa.

If you intend to stay in Egypt over 28 days it is necessary to get the full visa, and go to El Tur, 1hrs drive along the gulf of Suez from Sharm el Sheikh (three to four hours from Taba) You must go to the government office and apply for a one year tourist residency (with optional six month re-entry visa). This can be done in a day.

Answer 3

You need a visa as well as a current passport to enter Egypt, if you are not an Egyptian citizen. You can obtain the visa in you home country or just as easily at the airport when you land in Cairo. A separate visa is not required to go to Taba.

Answer 4

Probably no, most of the sinai penisula does not need a visa. However if you leave it for a day trip you will. Easy though to get one. When you arrive at your airport check with your tour guide about needing a visa. Take with you enough money in your currency not egyptian to pay cash for the visa. You buy two visa stamps at the banks in the air port will cost between 10 and 15 english depending on exchange rate.( or equivalent)
stick the stamps on a clean page in your passport then go to pasport control. they will stamp it and thats it. Take enough for the same amount for each passport. and dont buy one at the local embassy ( E.G. LONDON) it costs much more oh one other thing, you must have at least 6 months of validity on your passport to enter the country.

Answer 5

yes, upon arrive TABA airport they Will stamp you passport(visa) for all Sinai valid in 1 month , you can visit any part in Sinai with the same visa not only TBA..
if you thinking to go out of Sinai then you need multientry visa
